SISTER ADESEWA’S TALE – PART 6
Then something happened.
Bode lost his dad. It was then I got to know that the old man had…
more than one wife, as a matter of fact, he had four. One was late
already, and Bode’s mum was the last and the only one living with
him until he passed away.
Among the children from the other wives, only few of them were educated, others were either bricklayers, drivers, carpenters,
tailors or petty traders. It was only Bode’s mum that was
struggling to send her children to school.
She had three of them for the late farmer. Bode was the firstborn
with two kid sisters who were still in high school. The one next to him was preparing to write WASSSCE when their dad passed away.
It was announced in the church and we (choir members) decided to
go and register our condolence with Bode and other members of the family.
On getting there, I was so touched by the way I saw the widows
sitting down on a mat, wearing black attire with bowls before
each of them where people who came to sympathise with them
put money.
I said within me “if this kind of a thing should happen in my
lifetime, I would NEVER allow my mum to be treated this way. This is humiliation in d highest order..Did these women conspire to kill the man?”
Well, we greeted them. I didn’t even know what to say, as I never
experienced such before. As the leader, I summoned courage, knelt down beside Bode’s mum and whispered into her ear “God will uphold you ma, He will send help to you from where you least expected. Please, be strong”.
She said “Thank you my child. I really appreciate you”.
I gave her an amount of money on behalf of the choir.
She accepted it, appreciated us, and we left. When I got home, I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman. “Oh!.She
was so young. Why did she marry a polygamist?..a man old enough to be her father”
There must be a reason.
Whatever the reason might be, I felt for her. She was such a beautiful
young woman!.
“Never!.I can never go for that kind of a man, I will never allow
any stupid love to blind-fold me. I can not even marry anybody from that kind of a family, see their house, the moment I stepped into the compound, I could vividly smell poverty. Where would I tell
my dad I found that kind of a man?.Me?.I even trust myself..I,m
more than that.”

Then my mind went to what Pastor Mrs Williams told me the day she said she heard a rumour about Bode and me
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Fall? Fall for where? Falling is only meant for those who don’t
stand well. Me, I can’t fall o. I trust myself. I’ve been keeping
myself since and I will continue to keep myself, I’ve determined that no man shall see my nakedness except my husband, and that wont happen until after marriage. That is it!.
While talking to myself in this manner, I slept off.
